Operation 5
Establishing an RF-O! FIPS Session
A service terminal provides a command line interface with the RF-O! transmitter to access all
station parameters and functions using the Friendly Integrated Paging System (FIPS)
protocol. The FIPS interface is used throughout this manual for RF-O! transmitter installation,
operation, and troubleshooting.

Service Terminal Setup
The service terminal is usually an IBM
®
compatible personal computer (PC) running a
compatible communications software program. Procomm Plus
®
is the recommended
communications software program; however, an equivalent program may be used.
Perform the following steps to connect your service terminal for communications:
1. Connect the service terminal to the RF-O! transmitter front panel serial port connector
using an RS-232 null modem adapter cable with a DB9 connector (see Figure 5-1).
Note: The RF-O! transmitter serial port connector is configured as Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE). A null modem adapter must be used for the service terminal to interface with the serial
port connector. For convenience, use an RS-232 cable at least 10-ft (3.05 m) long with a DB9
connector.
